Congress president Rahul Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the rising cases of crime against Dalits in the country. Rahul said Dalits are angry with PM Modi because of his ideology. "You can worship Ambedkar with flowers but can never respect him. Each and every Dalit knows that when he looks at Modi, he knows that the PM does not have place for Dalits, Scheduled Castes, or women in his heart," he said. The Congress president launched his party's nationwide 'Save the Constitution' campaign on Monday at Delhi's Talkatora stadium. Excerpts from his speech.


Parliament logjam: The Modi govt is crushing Supreme Court, has shut down Parliament. If I am allowed to speak for 15 minutes in Parliament, PM Narendra Modi will run away.


Crimes against women: The country may burn and women may be raped but Modi only interested in becoming prime minister again. Entire world thought that India's richness lies in its diversity. They though India's constitution, institutions, the Supreme Court had a lot of value and looked up to us. When I was in South Africa, they said India guides them. But this reputation has been destroyed by BJP. Now Minor rapes, attacking minorities, Dalit atrocities are taking place. They have wasted our efforts over 70 years. Modiji ab naya slogan denge -- 'Beti Bachao, BJP ke logon se bachao'.

Dalits: Every democratic institution is being killed by the RSS. In his (PM's) book 'Karmayog', PM Modi justifies manual scavenging by calling it a 'spiritual experience' for the Valmiki community. This speaks volumes about his anti-Dalit mindset.

Tolerance: A press person has asked me a question in MNREGA. I will answer it, ask this to PM Modi and you will be thrown out of the room. Even if you are against us, we will defend and support you.
